Default audio telescope?

I think there is a misunderstanding, perhaps on my part, of what
is being "imaged". Can we go back to that and describe what is meant
to make sure we are on the same page? I thought we were talking
about an almost literal "image" in the sense of optics and light,
except using sound to convey the information, and that we would
end up with a "picture" on a screen. In that sense I see each pixel,
for example, representing the intensity of sound in a specific
direction, just as in a picture each pixel represents the brightness
in a specific direction.


Direction has little to nothing to do with it.

Each pixel in an image represents the amplitudes of some set of frequencies
of the image.

An image is an image, whether it is formed from the visiable spectrum,
IR, UV, microwave, or sound.

BTW, could you please leave the crossposts on the followup?


Nope.

It
appears you are hailing from sci.physics,


Yep.

crossposted, there are now participants from other groups such
as myself.


So ignore the Followup-To: header.
